Chlamydia
Chlamydia is a common sexually transmitted infection caused by bacteria. Many people have no symptoms, but it can lead to pain or infertility. Early testing protects your health.
How It Spreads
It spreads through vaginal, anal, or oral sex with an infected person. Because it’s often symptom-free, regular screening is vital. Condoms greatly lower the risk of infection.
What Happens in the Body
The bacteria infect areas like the cervix, urethra, or rectum. Without treatment, it may cause inflammation or scarring that affects fertility. Early care fully prevents complications.
Living With or Managing the Condition
Chlamydia is cured with antibiotics. Avoid sex until treatment ends and partners are tested. In Miami, confidential clinics provide testing, medicine, and follow-up care.
